Associations Between Religiosity and Marital Beliefs among Emerging Adults

Abstract

This study explored the links between emerging adults’ religiosity and their marital salience, marital timing, and marital readiness. Participants included 434 never-married Turkish emerging adults. Hierarchical multiple linear regression techniques were performed for data analysis. Results indicated that religiosity was a significant predictor of emerging adults’ marital salience, marital timing, and marital readiness. A higher level of religiosity was associated with a greater belief in marital salience and also linked to an earlier expected age of marriage. A higher level of religiosity was also related to more financial readiness, emotional readiness, and interpersonal relationship readiness. Furthermore, it was linked to the feeling of being prepared for family life and a family role, as well as readiness to take on social responsibility.

Beliren Yetişkinlerin Dindarlıkları ve Evlilik İnançları Arasındaki İlişkiler

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı beliren yetişkinlerin dindarlıkları ile evliliğin önemi, evliliğin zamanlaması ve evliliğe hazır oluşları arasındaki ilişkileri incelemektir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 434 bekâr beliren yetişkin oluşturmuştur. Verilerin analizinde hiyerarşik çoklu regresyon analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Dindarlık beliren yetişkinlerin evliliğin önemi, evliliğin zamanlaması ve evliliğe hazır oluşlarına ilişkin inançların anlamlı bir yordayıcısıdır. Yüksek düzeyde dindarlık evliliğe daha fazla önem vermeyle ilişkilidir. Yüksek düzeyde dindarlık daha erken yaşta evlenme beklentisiyle ilişkilidir. Yüksek düzeyde dindarlık daha fazla finansal hazır oluş, duygusal hazır oluş, kişiler arası ilişkilere hazır oluş, aile hayatı ve rollerine hazır oluş ve toplumsal sorumluluklara hazır oluş ile ilişkilidir.
